Synya Formation
The Synya (russian: Сыня) is a river in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia. The river is long — from the source of the Mokraya Synya at its head— and has a catchment area of . The Synya flows across the Shuryshkarsky District. It is navigable for , between its mouth in the Ob and Ovgort village. Course The Synya is a left tributary of the Ob river. It has its sources at the confluence of the long Sukhaya Synya and the long Mokraya Synya, which flow from the eastern slopes of the Polar Urals. The river flows initially southwards, then bends and flows eastwards, within a wide floodplain located at the northwestern end of the West Siberian Plain. Finally it meets the left bank of the Malaya Ob, an arm of the Ob, about from its mouth. Google Earth Tributaries The main tributaries of the Synya are the long Lesmiyogan (Лесмиёган), the long Nesyogan (Несъёган) and the long Bolshoy Tukshin (Большой Тукшин) from the right. The rive ...

List Of Rivers Of Russia
Russia can be divided into a European Russia, European and an North Asia, Asian part. The dividing line is generally considered to be the Ural Mountains. The European part is drained into the Arctic Ocean, Baltic Sea, Black Sea, and Caspian Sea. The Asian part is drained into the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. Notable rivers of Russia in Europe are Volga (which is the longest river in Europe), Pechora (river), Pechora, Don River, Russia, Don, Kama River, Kama, Oka River, Oka and the Northern Dvina, while several other rivers originate in Russia but flow into other countries, such as the Dnieper and the Western Dvina. In Asia, important rivers are the Ob River, Ob, the Irtysh River, Irtysh, the Yenisei River, Yenisei, the Angara River, Angara, the Lena River, Lena, the Amur River, Amur, the Yana River, Yana, the Indigirka River, Indigirka, and the Kolyma River, Kolyma.

Coregonus Tugun
''Coregonus tugun'', the tugun, is a species freshwater whitefish from rivers draining to the Arctic Ocean. It is one of the several species of Siberian whitefishes, with a distribution encompassing rivers from the Ob in the west to the Yana River in the east. In the Lower Ob basin, it inhabits in all the Ural tributaries. It never enters the sea.C. tugun (Pallas, 1814) - тугун Позвоночные животные России - Круглоротые и рыбы пресных вод России.

Coregonus
''Coregonus'' is a diverse genus of fish in the salmon family ( Salmonidae). The ''Coregonus'' species are known as whitefishes. The genus contains at least 68 described extant taxa, but the true number of species is a matter of debate. The type species of the genus is '' Coregonus lavaretus''. Most ''Coregonus'' species inhabit lakes and rivers, and several species, including the Arctic cisco (''C. autumnalis''), the Bering cisco (''C. laurettae''), and the least cisco (''C. sardinella'') are anadromous, moving between salt water and fresh water. Many whitefish species or ecotypes, especially from the Great Lakes and the Alpine lakes of Europe, have gone extinct over the past century or are endangered. Among 12 freshwater fish considered extinct in Europe, 6 are ''Coregonus''. All ''Coregonus'' species are protected under appendix III of the Bern Convention. Taxonomy Phylogenetic evidence indicates that the most basal member of the genus is the highl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Broad Whitefish
The broad whitefish (''Coregonus nasus'') is a freshwater whitefish species. Dark silvery in colour, and like a herring in its shape, its distinctive features include a convex head, short gill rakers, and a mild overbite. It is found in the Arctic-draining streams, lakes, and rivers of far eastern Russia and North America. Its prey includes larval insects, snails, and shellfish. It is eaten by humans and brown bears. Description The broad whitefish is a herring-shaped fish with a more compressed body and convex head than other whitefishes. It is iridescent, with a dark olive-brown back, silvery grey sides, and a whitish bottom.Froese and Pauly, 2010 Features that distinguish it from other species include a mild overbite and 18–25 short gill rakers. The fins of adults are grey, while those of young fish are grey.Alaska Natural Heritage Program, 2005 It reaches a maximum length of , and a maximum weight of . Distribution and habitat The broad whitefish is found in Arctic-dr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Peled (fish)
The peled (''Coregonus peled''), also called the ''northern whitefish'', is a species of freshwater whitefish in the family Salmonidae. It is found in northern Europe and Asia. The peled is related to ciscoes of the '' Coregonus sardinella'' complex.Politov DV, Bickham JW, Patton JC (2004 Molecular phylogeography of Palearctic and Nearctic ciscoes ''Ann. Zool. Fennici'' 41:13-23. Description Smaller peled much resemble slim vendace or whitefish but as they grow larger they develop a deeper body which becomes less tapered and more blocky. The jaws are of equal length which is in contrast to the whitefish which has a snout longer than its lower jaw, and the vendace which has a projecting lower jaw. Another distinction is that the first gill arch has 50–65 gill rakers, a larger number than either of the other species. This fish grows to a length of about and a maximum weight of . It has a dark back, silvery flanks and white belly. Distribution and habitat The peled is native ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Arctic Cisco
Arctic cisco (''Coregonus autumnalis''), also known as omul russian: Омуль, is an anadromous species of freshwater whitefish that inhabits the Arctic parts of Siberia, Alaska and Canada. It has a close freshwater relative in several lakes of Ireland, known as the pollan, alternatively regarded as conspecific with it, or as a distinct species. Taxonomy The freshwater omul of Lake Baikal, formerly considered a subspecies ''Coregonus autumnalis migratorius'' of the Arctic cisco, has no close genetic relationship to it and is now classified as a separate species, ''Coregonus migratorius''. Description The Arctic cisco have a relatively small head with a non-prominent snout. They have metallic silver body, a brown or dark green back, and nearly colorless fins. They have neither spots nor teeth on their jaws. They do have a patch of teeth on their tongue. They can reach 50 cm (20 in) in length and can weight up to 2 kg (4.4 lbs), but are usually less than 40 cm (16 in) in le ...

Great Soviet Encyclopedia
The ''Great Soviet Encyclopedia'' (GSE; ) is one of the largest Russian-language encyclopedias, published in the Soviet Union from 1926 to 1990. After 2002, the encyclopedia's data was partially included into the later ''Bolshaya rossiyskaya entsiklopediya'' (or ''Great Russian Encyclopedia'') in an updated and revised form. The GSE claimed to be "the first Marxist–Leninist general-purpose encyclopedia". Origins The idea of the ''Great Soviet Encyclopedia'' emerged in 1923 on the initiative of Otto Schmidt, a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In early 1924 Schmidt worked with a group which included Mikhail Pokrovsky, (rector of the Institute of Red Professors), Nikolai Meshcheryakov (Former head of the Glavit, the State Administration of Publishing Affairs), Valery Bryusov (poet), Veniamin Kagan (mathematician) and Konstantin Kuzminsky to draw up a proposal which was agreed to in April 1924. Also involved was Anatoly Lunacharsky, People's Commissar of Educatio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Polar Urals
The Polar Urals (russian: Полярный Урал) are a mountain range in the western part of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug and the northeastern part of Komi, Russian Federation. The border between Europe and Asia runs along the main ridge of the Polar Urals. Google Earth The Salekhard–Igarka Railway stretch of the Northern Railway runs along the valley of the Sob in the mountains. Geography The Polar Urals are a subrange of the Urals. They stretch roughly from SW to NE for forming the northern section of the long Ural chain. The range runs from the area of the sources of the Khulga river of the Ob basin in the south, to the Konstantinov Kamen mountain rising above Baydaratskaya Bay of the Kara Sea at the northern end. The predominant elevations of the ridges range between and , with individual peaks rising slightly higher. The highest peak is high Payer Mountain, located in the middle part.

Google Earth
Google Earth is a computer program that renders a 3D representation of Earth based primarily on satellite imagery. The program maps the Earth by superimposing satellite images, aerial photography, and GIS data onto a 3D globe, allowing users to see cities and landscapes from various angles. Users can explore the globe by entering addresses and coordinates, or by using a keyboard or mouse. The program can also be downloaded on a smartphone or tablet, using a touch screen or stylus to navigate. Users may use the program to add their own data using Keyhole Markup Language and upload them through various sources, such as forums or blogs. Google Earth is able to show various kinds of images overlaid on the surface of the earth and is also a Web Map Service client. In 2019, Google has revealed that Google Earth now covers more than 97 percent of the world, and has captured 10 million miles of Street View imagery. In addition to Earth navigation, Google Earth provides a series ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
